In this episode, Christina Slaback shares about her relationship with anger; how for years she suppressed the uncomfortable emotions and busied herself to avoid them, not realizing that anger was hiding underneath the surface. She pushed herself outside of her comfort zone and did the exact things she didn't want to do, but instinctively knew she needed to do, to help herself process her emotions and become the leader of her own life.

Christina Slaback is cohost of the Parenting & Productivity by Design podcast, co-founder of The Village Community and Cowork space, coach, entrepreneur, and homeschooling mom of two. She helps driven women to create a lifestyle in accordance with their values. Drawing on her background in Psychology and 20 years of experience serving as a director of nonprofits, she creates a customized approach for her clients to streamline their business and personal values to create more ease and joy.

In this episode, Christina also talks about:

• How anger can manifest in different forms, such as dissatisfaction or resentment;
• The societal expectations on women and not being allowed to be their authentic selves;
• We put a lot of value on productivity, in being busy, and in getting things done;
• We turn discontent to being busy thinking that more will make us feel better when what we actually need is space and to take a step back;
• How so much of time management is actually managing yourself, otherwise a strategy is just a bandaid;
• The things we don't want to do are the exact things we need that make us feel better;
• Rather than use kids as an excuse for the way we feel, use them as inspiration to do the things that we know we should be doing for ourselves, and for them;
• When you show care for yourself, you show up differently in every other area of your life;
• Your highest leverage action may be to take a step back and reconnect with yourself, which ultimately leads to more productivity;
• The five types of Human Design and how they play a role in how we show up.
